TO. ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, E. H. OLMSTEAD, of Savannah, Chatham county, Georgia, have invented a new and. nseful Improvement in Seats for Railroad Cars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a, full, clear, and exact description thereof, whicli will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The object of this invention consists in constructingthe seats in such a manner that they may, by being reversed, be converted into a, lounge or bed, and which will be understood from the following:

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved car-seat as converted into a bed.

Figure 2 shows side elevation of the same as used for a. seat.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

a represents the seat, which ,is hinged to the frame 6. The arms of the seat are cut away sufficiently at a so as to allow them to pass each other without touching when folding the same. When these seats are turned over in order to use them as a couch, the arms restingon the floor of thecar will act as legs to supportthesame.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The construction and arrangement of the arms of the seat, as at 0, when said seat is hinged and adjusted in the manner and for the purpose herein described.

E. H. OLMSTEAD.
